Safari Getaway

Safaris are not only about the famed Big Five, but about the thousands of other creatures big and small – from the worlds tallest animal - the giraffe – surely the most elegant of all the bush animals to some of the smallest and most fascinating – like the dung beetle. You’ll encounter elephants galore – watch out for that tiny baby crossing the road – and herds of buffalo. There are so many different kinds of antelope your head will spin, fat crocodiles sunning themselves on sandbanks, hyenas on the prowl, and, if you’re very lucky, a pack of wild dogs.

We celebrate the difference and uniqueness of each area and its wildlife, with a huge selection of public and private concessions, each with its own identity, feel and character. This variety of accommodation, activities and lodges means that there’s something for everyone wanting to experience Africa. Public safari concession camps in National Parks offer comfortable accommodation, a restaurant, swimming pool, and open vehicle game drives safaris.

Or choose from standard to the most luxurious private concessions (area’s that are privately owned) where you are guaranteed a highly personalized game viewing experience, as well as the services of knowledgeable guides that have a passion for the bush. All life’s little luxuries are available to you with exquisite accommodations, all inclusive of meals (and most including alcohol too), and intimate game viewing. Private access means you can go off-road and really track the animals without 40 other pairs of eyes being there with you or a time limit on which you have to view the animals. These private reserves define service and luxury, and we highly recommend a stay in a private game reserve be part of your Africa vacation.

In the heart of southern Africa, Botswana offers possibly the finest, authentic wildlife experience in the world. It is comprised largely of the Kalahari Desert, within which lies the Okavango Delta, a wonderful blue-green wetland considered by many to be Africa’s most incredible wildlife and wilderness sanctuary. This dynamic waterworld contrasts with an ecosystem driven by different stimuli in the Linyanti and Selinda region in the north of the country.

Namibia has rapidly become a well-known safari destination with a difference, famed for its remote and intimate lodges, interaction with the indigenous people as well as the wildlife, and offering unique opportunities to become involved with the cultural heritage of all its peoples.

The East African countries of Kenya and Tanzania are famous for one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena - the annual migration of more than a million wildebeest (gnu). Countless wildlife documentaries have captured the spectacle of thundering hooves as they move from the Serengeti in the south to the Masai Mara, in search of fresh grasslands. The migratory pink flamingos in Kenya, which lend Lake Nakuru its blush, number close to a million and are an unforgettable sight in the shallows and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Kenya safaris.
